Hrvatske Ceste co-operation with Chinese company for Peljesac bridge construction

Croatia's state-owned motorway operator Hrvatske Ceste said last Friday (Jan. 12) it has ended up choosing a consortium of companies headed by China Road and Bridge Corporation for the construction of Peljesac bridge at a price of 281.7 million euros.

The bridge, that will be 55 m high and 2.4 km long, with four lanes, will connect the peninsula by the same name and the rest of mainland Croatia over the Adriatic, providing an alternative route to crossing the Neum Corridor - a strip of the Adriatic coastline in Bosnia and Herzegovina between these two parts of Croatia, seenews.com reads.
